Volunteer

Dates are already set for 2017 and StandDown events are taking place all over our state!

Check below for all current volunteer opportunities available for all AVSA StandDown events.

PLEASE NOTE: With the exception of the Maricopa County StandDown, which is coordinated by the Arizona Housing Coalition (formerly AZCEH) and AVSA, all annual StandDown events are coordinated and maintained by local leaders and veterans organizations in Cochise County, Coconino County, Gila County, Graham/Greenlee Counties, La Paz County, Mohave County, Pima County, Pinal County, Yavapai County, and Yuma County. While AVSA provides financial and technical assistance to these locations, all logistics, including volunteer management, is coordinated by local leaders and veterans organizations.
